• The always witty Alix Ramsey dishes some dirt on a few unnamed tennis stars. Here's one anecdote on how some players get pretty used to not picking up the tab.

Another Wimbledon champion agreed to an interview request from a German newspaper and suggested that he meet the reporter for Sunday lunch. When the hopeful hack arrived, she discovered the Wimbledon wonder had brought his wife, her immediate family, his manager and agent and a few friends to make a party of 11. They ate and drank heartily before leaving the hack with a bill the size of Spain's national debt. And precious few quotes.
